PLEASE READ:
JUST TO LET EVERYONE NOW WHO DOES NOT ALREADY KNOW, PEOPLELOVER CLOSED THIS THREAD BECAUSE I'VE COME BACK. PLEASE LET THIS THREAD FALL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST NOW. I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S KIND WORDS. THEY MEAN A LOT. ~ Colleen
Come on lets us unite against the nutters that are causing Colleen to leave. So Colleen has a different slant on things to the nutters, what is wrong with that? She is a sensitive intellegent person. She has a different sexual persuasion to these same nutters so what? I am as straight as the Gun Barrel Highway but I would welcome her into my home and life as a friend. I judge by what you are not what you do in your own space. I have nerver once seen Colleen suggesting we all become lesbians C`MON
".I think you have a target on your back and part of that is your own doing"
Yes because I'm brave enough to not live in a closet. Just notice for me if you will the people who target me. They would be the followers of the all loving Jesus. I don't think I've ever encountered an atheist who attacked me verbally.
There you go again ignoring my spiritual belief about prayer. Once again, please do not use my name in your prayers. Praying for God to fix things for us is not what we are here for. We are to fix our own things.
I do not need fixing. Leave me out of your prayers. God loves me and that's all I need. I take care of my own life and he knows it.
"It's a Christian thing" is more of an excuse for being stubborn I think. I'd rather not be on a list with your enemies either. Seems like you're still trying to degrade me by doing that.
If you knew God's real love, you would respect my request, like it or not. I would not take 1 million from you. That would be a debt I would owe you in another life.
I've lived hundreds of lifetimes already. Been there, done that with the Christian thing. I'm not worried about "one chance getting it right" : )
I think so to PEOPLELOVER, but if she don't want to debate anymore God bless her wherever she goes.
Colleen I would hate to see you go.The first two seasons of Ellen were about this funny quirky gal that was prob. gay. when she came out the show changed and it was all about making a statement.I think you have a target on your back and part of that is your own doing. I like you or I would never engaged you in the manor that I did if you leave so do your ideas.It would be a loss for this sight. but know this you are on my prayer list till I leave this earth
EVERYBODY WHO STANDS FOR SOMETHING HAS A TARGET ON THEIR BACK.I CANT LEAVE YOU OFF MY LIST. ITS A CHRISTIAN THING I DONT EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND. IM SUPPOSED TO PRAY FOR MY WORST ENEMY AND YOU ARE MILES UP THE LINE FROM THERE.
I BET IF I GAVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS YOU WOULD FUSS ABOUT THE TAXES ON IT. MYPRAYERS YOU GET OUT OF LOVE LIKE IT OR NOT .

Colleen, as you can see most everyone would like for you to stay, I will miss you if you go. I hope you reconsider leaving, because you are a huge contributor to this site and a genuinely good hearted person. Hope to see you around in the future, you have earned the respect of many people here who appreciate you insightful opinions, especially me. Take care!!!

Colleen you are great. I always love reading what you have to say. Its ridiculous that people get off (for lack of better words) on making other people feel bad. Christianity shouldnt be a power trip. I love God and I totally think that women are way hotter than men anyways.. I mean come on people. Women are gorgeous and this shouldnt be a 'force my opinions off on other people' kinda site. Ya know what... people are just afraid of what they dont know anything about and most of them are jealous for not tryin it. hang in there :)

I just check back to see if I said something to upset her, because we did have some good debates. What I found was if I had the Bible or Jesus in my title she was among the first to comment and said "The bible is used as a weapon of hate."
So if she got upset with me for defending what I believe in then sorry for her. Go look for yourself. I still don't want to see her go but if she don't want to debate anymore then. GOD BLESS

Rick, I must agree with Coach-- I would like to think this site is for everyone too, your yelling in all caps and slandering remarks does you no justice in making your point. When yelling and using slanderous attacks lowers your credibility. I have read through many post here and i have yet to see where anything but religion is pushed here. It's pretty obvious. But the site is for everyone. This is my understanding and I'm the new guy.

You got a thumbs up Vinny. That pushes it to the top of the page. If it was posted on the second page, it will push it to the top of the first page. The forum works that way so the member voted (correct) answers remain visible under the question. A thumbs down will push your comment to the bottom of all answers.
How did my post end up as an answer er... whatever, comment?? Answer?? I'm confused-- It was s'posed to be under Ricks answer on the next page.
I guess I have a lot to learn..
I support Colleen, I support her beliefs and they may and are different than mine. I don't care that she is a lesbian, she is people! A spoke in the wheel.. Ya'll knock out a few more spokes and your wheel will collapse.

"she attacked me for my religion first,when I first entered this forum."
Research Tami. I disagreed with your faiths belief of my sexuality. I disagreed with it's belief that it is a sin. Go back to when you first posted in the HOMOSEXUAL THREAD. I was defending my life from YOUR religion.
Don't make me research threads and pull up every one of your snarky, nasty comments to me. Even when I wasn't talking to you...wait, never mind, your nasty attitude is showing here towards others. You prove the person you are without me even having to do a thing. Keep attacking those who are not agreeing with you.
Uh, that was not towards you. That was towards some guy. Must everything be about you? And yes, that was my brother because he took offense to the fact this guy was making it like men of the military are so weak they are afraid of gays. That's why he said that.
You are no where near my match you deluded whacko. Now there, that;s snarky. You are one nasty creature.
I would nope no one fears me. I am not about fear. You want people to fear you though. That's why you strike and attack everyone who says anything to you. Go reread your comments from just the last hour. you try to scare people into submission.
@Tami, why did you attack her personally by calling her a carpet muncher? she may criticise your religion (as do I) but you started abusing and stalking her after your question about cock size was mentioned! :-)
@Tami, you just cant handle a healthy debate without resorting to insults, abuse and posturing!
Colleen has always criticized organised religion/s, and stood her ground! that's what she has done all the time, you are just to weak to deal with it. no wonder she got pissed off with you and your snide comments. :-)
Why does every fault for everything always have to fall to RELIGION or SEXUAL ORIENTATION,that has nothing to do with it.
That's a bunch of Bull,that is what everyone targets...she attacked me for my religion first,when I first entered this forum.
Actually Colleen my religion doesn't agree with your sexuality but I personally don't care what sexual orientation you choose.,I always told you it wasn't about that,so why attack me personally?
Why not,you do,and I can pull up some snarky comments by you,like your (ignorant F****) comment you relayed on behalf of your brother.Bottom line you have meet your match,and you cant accept that,some on here fear you....I don't!
Grit,that's not true,she got on me first,you are way behind,you don't know when it started,so why comment? I am not one to strike first,but when striked at I will defend myself,if that's wrong so be it.
luvjesus-- I don't attack anyone's religion but I will defend myself from anyone that uses their religion to attack me.
This about what i just said.
Get a grip..we all have our own opinions and some folks will "read" something into an answer to a question that is truly not their way of thinking...don't think you are being attacked..this forum is so "wide open" so to speak that one has to deal with opinions from ALL OVER!
Now I see the root of this problem. How could anyone support a way of thinking that excludes them in any way. Fact is I think all sexual wireing is given at birth and you play the hand you were dealt or pretend and really end up hurting someone.This is about questions and nothing more ,no need to be mean or hurtful. The fact here is not people are going around the track at the same speed.Education and back grounds vary widely and should be embraced and welcomed. It appears that all ages chime in as well ,maybe the younger ones should observe a bit before speaking out. There is no substitute for 40 extra years of living ,some are just babies and it shows.I welcome a debate and can and will defend any side if its my belief or just to stir the pot.So rarely does anyone articulate in any meaningful fashion. How can we have debates about anything with what amounts to tall third graders. I can understand the need for a time out and a different perspective . What ever Colleen decides will be just that ,and we will loose a good person because some lack manners. To all the bible thumper s heres one for you: If your speech drives someone from God are you responsible for the loss of that soul??? Are your words so good and perfect that you are considered a prophet,a spokesperson for the almighty. And lastly consider this :Can God who can do anything make a object so heavy he or she cant lift it ??? Life is nothing but a series of lessons and then you leave .Concern your self with your own lessons and leave others to theres who are you to interfere Now I am done nuff said quit being mean all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a few reasons as to why I made this decision It's been coming for a week. A lot of it does have to do with religion. What all the Christians don't realize is that I became a target for each of them due to my sexuality. Think of how many of them there are here and from the start I've had to defend myself to each of them (shy a few Christian members here who don't really care). Then the nasty ones would pop up, then there are the ones who claim that they only promote the love of Christ but I didn't see them shut down the nasty ones, the ones not practicing what they preach.
I felt surrounded by hypocrites. That became dark and negative. Last night I fought with a real doozy. I have yet to see a Christian tell her she was wrong for telling me my father is Lucifer and I was going to burn in hell among other things. She got ugly. Jenn and dh even had to step in. Then there's the fights I've seen between others here. People I like and it made me sad to see people leave because of the fight. There are others who have left, good people who I enjoyed who left because they couldn't take all the bible stuff in every thread, religious or not.
I see a total lack of respect from people who are fly by night members. They show up only to cause sh!t. There's no moderation here and it gets out of control with the fighting. That's dark and negative. I'd rather leave than to add to that negativity. There's more but this is too long now. Just know, it wasn't only one reason, there are few. I just wanted to help people. I also felt the need to defend my sexuality. Some people are of the opinion I should have just kept my moth shut and let homosexuality just be torn apart by the haters.
I'm not sure what Colleen is so upset about, the christian questions or someone who is harrassing her. If someone is harrasing her she should report them. If she doesn't like the Chrsitian questions she can certainly ignore them.

Do you really not know why she is upset? You all know it by heart, if not, you are blind and have no communication or people skills. Thus you have your "mission impossible".
Randy, it had nothing to do with your post today.
